Sanlorenzo Commits to Creating an Advanced Iteration of Its 500EXP Superyacht - A Treat for Greece's Keen Mariner
Italian shipyard, Sanlorenzo, has confirmed the plans for the construction of its latest 500EXP superyacht model. An upscale evolution, this yacht is bound to make waves.
Signalizing a new maritime era, renowned Italian yacht builder Sanlorenzo has officially inked the contract for its latest 500EXP superyacht variant. This 47-metre luxury marvel, brimming with 'standard-setting' features not seen in its predecessors, has been procured by a Greek owner who boasts a seasoned seafaring background.
Deriving from its 460EXP sibling, this upgraded model showcases an extended aft deck capable of accommodating a helicopter, and a heightened capacity for housing an array of sea toys, including tenders up to nine metres long. Engineered under the genius of Francesco Paszkowski, this superyacht series imbues rugged sophistication. Each unit weighs just under 500 gross tonnes, defying traditional size thresholds for luxury yachts.
Sporting a 9.6-metre beam and a 2.8-metre draught, this agile maritime beast can sail up to 15 knots. Sanlorenzo's impressive portfolio boasts an outstanding 72 superyacht projects, either under construction or on orders, with the 74Steel standing as the largest.
With the momentum of Sanlorenzo's pioneering spirit, the future of yachting is set to sail toward uncharted sophistication and luxury. New horizons, here we come!

What remains uncertain is the usual waterfront mix of weather, final notices, availability, pricing and how a claim holds up once people arrive.
